This just in from yahoo news, I think that those of you in New York will be
pleased to hear it :)
Proud Furby Parents Show Off Newest Members of the Furby Family!
WHAT: Be the first to meet the Furby Babies!
Furby Babies are cute, petite versions of Furby with their
own baby-like colors and personalities. Like their
"parents", Furby Babies are animatronic plush pets that are
able to interact with the environment. Furby Babies have
moving eyes, ears and mouths. Furby Babies will be able to
communicate and interact with other Furby Babies and
grown-up Furbys through the use of infrared technology and
will also speak Furbish and English. In fact, Furby Babies
will even "learn" to speak English faster and have their
very own baby Furbish-English phrases and words . Furby
Babies are available in six new fur patterns:
pink/white/blue, blue/white/pink, peach/white, mint
green/white, yellow/orange and solid white. Each of these
fur patterns are available in four different eye colors:
blue, green, gray and brown.
Furby Babies will have lifelike baby responses like going to
sleep right after eating, always wanting to play, needing to
be burped after a feeding, rocked to sleep and more!
Suggested retail: $29.99.
